    Talk Talk

    By Aditus

    Conversations. Sometimes it’s too much, sometimes too little, formal, informal, clumsy, artificial, with another word: difficult. Let’s practice, Shall we? #253 Someone is on the bus. The guy beside them fidgets the whole time with an irritating tinkling bangle while telling them, it seems, their entire life story, including very personal things. It’s time to pop in the earbuds. When it’s time to get off the bus, the talker has disappeared and the strange bangle is now on th

*long sigh*

lol..Im not sure if anyone is actually reading this, but I thought I would update it anyway. Im still working hard on my story, and I have 9 chapters posted already, but last night I realized that non fiction can be boring. I guess I didn't really think about how my life looked to other people. But Im not going to change what I plan on writing. I started this story and I plan on finishing it. It's really just something for me and my bf to read when it's done, but like I said in the last entry, I

Hi Everyone

Well, this is something new I didn't know I could do here...this place get cooler and cooler. Anyway, I found this site a while ago and I've been reading the stories, especially Dom Lukas stories. He is so talented and his stories make me think about so much. Anyway, I started writing a story myself, but I have no idea what to do with it, so I've been posting each chapter on my Xanga page, and I've been getting some feedback from certain people. I guess right now a lot of people are upset becaus

why am I the last one to know everything?

So this is a story about how my family never tells me important things. My brother and sister both live in South Carolina, about a half hour from each other. Yesterday my sister gets a call from my brother saying to call the police (why he didn't call them himself, I don't know) because there's someone under his house. The police show up, and my brother is running around with a butcher knife and freaking out. The cops look, don't see anybody, and are about to leave when my brother insists that

saving grace...

So, as I have been chatting around and posting comments in forums and on blogs, I have made some great new friends, and I have been called 'Grace' (referring to the show Will and Grace) by Michael - so sweet of him- and I have a couple of new little brothers. All around I would say a pretty good way to spend a Saturday night. I am usually the one that people turn to for advice or for a shoulder to cry on. Maybe it is because I am a good listener, maybe it is because I have been through a lot of

Mother's Intuition

Let's set the mood for this post by saying straightaway that I had a shitty day. Actually that's not true. I had a pretty good day. Everything pretty much went right, no real issues. I'm just in a bad mood and I don't know why. Maybe it's rainy and cloudy...that can make me melancholy...I could never live in Seattle, or Juneau. So I'm sitting at home reading papers (like I do) and my phone rings...it's my mother. We chat for a bit, and then she tells me that I really seem adamant and outs

PMS...

OK, so I have been trying to decide what PMS means to me... it is something that I am usually lucky enough not to have to experience, or should I say my husband is lucky enough, but these past few days, ok, I admit it, I have been a big ol' B**CH!! Now I have wondered if it stands for 'putting up with men's shit', but now I think it might be ' putting up with MY shit'... I dunno. We officially had a fight over something dumb, since we were both saying the exact same thing, but what I needed or

curse the sun

Well, I'm hungover today, but I'm pretty sure I had fun last night. My bf and I got invited to this party, and honest to god, I wanted to be dorky and go to the museum today, so I said we were only gonna stay for an hour or so. Yeah, well. I think we got home around 6 am. That great dispenser of wisdom, the guy who made the previously mentioned Ninja Turtles remark, was there, but unfortunately I can't remember anything he said. I need to start taking along a tape recorder. I do know that a

cheese popcorn... yum

Don't you just hate it when you pull up to the gas pump and turn off the car, get out to go pay for your gas and the credit card part of the pump is out of order and now you have to go inside and wait behind twelve people trying to buy a cup of coffee before work on your day off? Hmmmmmmm... I definately DO!! Oh, and I had to park my car on the grass today because it is street sweeping day so I don't get a ticket and so now my husband is gonna be ticked off since he is trying to grow new grass

roommate-icide

I've been trying really hard not to complain about this, but I think I can either get it out of my system here or commit murder. Two of my roommates are absolutely great. They try to keep the noise down, they share food and stuff with us, they ask if we need anything, etc. The third, the one we share a bathroom with, is the world's biggest jackass. He's already given me several lectures for stupid little things (mostly him being a clean freak) but tonight he freaked out and started screaming at

who am I?

Today I was faced with a situation that I never hope to be in ever again. I was confronted by a friend of a friend asking me to stay away from our mutual friend. apparently this person thinks that I spend too much time with said friend. I was taken aback by this persons request as I havent seen our friend in about a week and before we only saw each other about once a week. It really bothered me and I informed this person that I hadn't seen said friend and that we barely talk now adays.Needless t

*sniffle, sniffle*

So, today was the big day!!! Little brother went off to college... all by himself... five hours away He came to have breakfast with me on my break at work since I had to be there at 3am and he had to leave before I would get home. He was telling me a story about how he and his 'semi-girlfriend/prom date' went out to lunch yesteday and how she was crying, so being the amazingly strong big sis/ mom figure in his life I waited till he drove out of the parking lot and then I had my breakdown...

no clever title here

So you'll all be glad to know that I actually don't have much to complain about today. My bf and I had an argument this morning (big surprise there) but something productive actually came of it, for once. See, he has a college degree, but he works as a cook. This is a long story, but basically he couldn't find anything in the area in his field, and I was still in college, and so we couldn't move. He had a go at graduate school, hated it, and quit, which really confused me because he's a very sma

A public personal apology

There once lived a king, King Myron, who ruled over a large land named Gafa. King Myron's conquests were formidable. He had built his realm from a small fiefdom into a large kingdom, annexing land after land. There came a time in the history of Gafa where this growth had exceded King Myron's ability to effectively administer the kingdom. Gafa contained a diverse population, and the lords of the realm were a fractious bunch. In a brief border altercation, the Flower Lords were defeated by th

on your ass...

So, today as my husband was leaving for work he comes back in the house to tell me that I have to take him to work because he has a flat tire and doesn't have time to fix it before work. This means that I also then have to drive back at lunch time to take him to get some lunch since he is without a car and then go back when he gets off work and bring him home. Anyway, while we are driving back from lunch, I pull up behind this truck at the light and he has bumper stickers all over his rusty old

my proudest moment as a parent... again

For those of you who have kids, let me ask you this. Have you ever had one of those days where your kid does or says something so unbelievably out there that you are wondering if they have learned ANYTHING from you EVER? Well, my daughter, almost 10 and in the fifth grade, yesterday is telling me a story about how she and her dad were at the grocery store and in the checkout line she saw a magazine cover with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on it. She proceeds to tell me that Angelina stole Brad fr
